I would reduce the carapils and honey malt (no more than a pound each). Belgian beers are known for their good attenuation, so I would up the basemalt, and maybe add in some (1-2 lbs) sugar (either cane, or something with a bit more flavor if you want it). I might also reduce the chocolate malt, there are not many Belgian beers that are that roasty.

+1 to knocking down the carapils and honey malt. You're already looking at the possibility of attenuation issues, and 4lbs of carapils will do you no favors in that department. Between that and 7lbs of torrified wheat you're going to have more body than The honey malt is more of a taste preference. If you like the flavor, go for it. If you haven't used it before, be aware that 3lbs of honey malt will be very noticeable.

Eliminate the carapils and honey malt completely for the reasons stated above. Also, it is exceedingly difficult to achieve such a big beer using all grain. Expect the need to over-sparge, then boil off excess volume. If you undershoot the OG, have a gameplan to bump it up with candi sugar or other fermentables.

Carapils has two purposes: increasing head retention, and increasing body/mouthfeel. With all that wheat, you'll have no problem with head retention. In a beer that big, one of the challenges is to keep the sweetness to a minimum and the mouthfeel less than syrupy. Again, no need for carapils.

Honey malt also increases the sweetness, which, again, you want to avoid. IMHO, there is no place for it in a barleywine-type brew.

Ok, how does this look? I left a little of the honey in there because I want a little of the honey flavor, but what you guys are saying about the sweetness makes sense. Think even just a pound of it is too much? I don't want anything that's sickly sweet, but I'm hoping for a nice sweetness to this.
